Impact Dynamics of Flexible Multibody System Based on Continuous Contact Force Method

Abstract

The impact dynamics of spatial multi-link flexible multibody system is studied based on the continuous contact force method (CCFM). According to the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic theory of flexible multibody system, the rigid-flexible coupling continuous dynamic equations of the system are established by using the recursive Lagrange method. The impact dynamic equations of the system are stylized derived on the use of CCFM basing on the nonlinear spring-damper model. The contact separation criterion is given to achieve the conversion and calculation of the dynamic model for the system at different stages. An impact dynamic simulation example for a two-link planar flexible multibody system is given, as well as the global dynamic response. The results show that the impact dynamic solving method based on CCFM can be used for the global impact dynamics of multi-link flexible multibody systems. The dynamic behavior of the system changes dramatically during the impact process. The large overall motion, the small deformation motion and the impact effect are coupled.
